Going for a few days break here in a few months time, Anyone from Poland here? Is it worth a visit to the AD?

Every AD in Europe / the World is (almost) empty, don’t expect to find and SS sport models. Only PM, TT and steel Datejust, Milgauss and maybe Explorers.

I’m not from Poland but this is sadly ‘normal’ stock for AD’s.

SS sport models are for their VIP clients.

Or you must have the greatest luck in the universe

I was there in October last year, nothing much to see if you are looking for SS sports models. I had a quick chat with the salesman at the time he said there was about a 2 year wait for a Sub LVC.

I’m off shortly so will have a recky and report back to a fellow Suffolk buddy. This is providing you don’t support the donkeys.

Nobody has a ton of SS sports watches anywher, if you find a odd one it's luck
Asking that question is a little naive

Not really naive at all. Search through the threads in the last several months (years) and there are almost daily posts of people asking if a certain market that they are headed to has anything special, and frequent posts of "I walked in and found this Sub in the case and bought it!" The OP may have been referencing SS sports models, or maybe not, since he doesn't specify. Some ADs around the world still receive allocations of "hot" models and don't have lists, and many others receive Explorers, Explorer IIs, or many TT sport models.

I'm only there for a short break, site seeing etc, the person I'm going with doesn't even realise I have an interest in watches...so was more asking is it worth a detour/if we don't actually go near there?, I realise I'm not going to walk in and pick up a daytona, sub lv, blnr, etc...the last 2 I have anyway

"Greatest luck in the universe" hmmmm well I saw the blnr in the window of my ex AD, had name down for Sub Lvc for about 4-5 months, the sub came in the following week I said I would take the blnr...this was 2017

I was there a few weeks ago - the only watch store I visited was at the Galleria though.

They had a couple of Gold Daytona's and a White Gold Submariner 116619LB.

The guy in the AD was great to talk to though, he was very knowledgeable and happy to talk all things Rolex.

Have a great time in Krakow, my family and I spent Christmas there and fell in love with the city, we will be back but it's a long way from our home in New Zealand.
